Until the Spring

E just wrapped up the fall season of soccer. We are so proud of him. The first game he really did not stay vertical for more than a minute at a time. After bribing him with lollipops to stay standing throughout the game, he stopped the drama of falling. His coach described him like this: " E is one of the least selfish players. He always keeps an eye on defense but when we are attacking, he is always ready to pass or in the right position receive a pass from one of his teammates." On the field, the boy is full of empathy; always concerned when someone falls and a little shy about taking the ball away from someone. Not so concerned, however, when playing with mommy in the backyard! We're looking forward to the Spring season...he is sad it's over and so are we.
